<div>>== CD (Change Directory) ==<br />
:Allows you to move up and down a directory tree. '''CD''' is simple to use, just type <br />
<br />
CD [Directory-Name]<br />
<br />
:And if the Directory-Name correctly refers to an available directory then you will be moved from your current working directory to the new one. Once completed, any command you issue will operate under the new working directory, and your prompt will be updated to reflect your current working directory. Multiple folders can be traversed at once (assuming you know the correct names) by typing their names together with the '''\''' separating them for example<br />
<br />
C:\&gt;'''CD SIERRA\KQ5'''<br />
C:\SIERRA\KQ5&gt;<br />
<br />
:There are also 3 special directories that are available inside every directory which help you simply move around. They are<br />
<br />
. which refers to the current directory <br />
<br />
.. which refers to the directory directly above the current directory<br />
<br />
/ which refers to the root directory<br />
<br />
:Once you have moved into a sub directory, you can move back by typing<br />
<br />
C:\SIERRA\KQ5&gt;'''CD ..'''<br />
C:\SIERRA&gt;<br />
<br />
:And like all other directories you can string them together<br />
<br />
C:\SIERRA\KQ5&gt;'''CD ..\..'''<br />
C:\&gt;<br />
<br />
:If you ever need to move back to the root directory you can use the '''\''' alias.<br />

<div>DOSBOX comes with a README.TXT that answers many Frequently Asked Questions. You can read an online version [http://dosbox.cvs.sourceforge.net/dosbox/dosbox/README?view=markup here]. If you still cannot find the answer, check this page.<br />
<br />
>== Performance ==<br />
<br />
===Slow games/applications===<br />
'''Q.''' My game/application runs slowly, how do I improve speed?<br />
<br />
'''A.''' Increase cycles. Use core=dynamic. Try different output modes (e.g. output=overlay). Increase Frameskip. Disable unneeded components in the [[dosbox.conf]] such as [[Sound]], mouse or joystick emulation. A nice speedup can be achieved by using a [[Other compilers|different compiler]] than GCC. If all else fails, find a faster computer to run DOSBox on.<br />
Also be sure to check the compatibility section of this FAQ as some game/applications are more trouble (or resource hogs) than others.<br />
<br />
* See also [[Performance#How to speed up/slow down DOSBox|How to speed up/slow down DOSBox]]<br />
<br />
===Problems in sound/music===<br />
'''Q.''' The Sound/Music for my DOS game/application sounds terrible what can I do?<br />
<br />
'''A.''' This is a complicated issue covered in the [[Sound]] section of the wiki. It's important to remember to install or setup game/applications correctly to use the correct sound devices (&lt;tt&gt;INSTALL.EXE&lt;/tt&gt;, &lt;tt&gt;SOUNDSET.EXE&lt;/tt&gt; and &lt;tt&gt;SETUP.EXE&lt;/tt&gt; are popular program names to look for). The capabilities of the hardware as well as the preferences of the programmer vary: Therefore what may sound &quot;best&quot; on one particular game may not be the &quot;best&quot; for another. Sometimes changes need to be made to the [[dosbox.conf]] file (or a new conf file) to get the best results.<br />
Also, game sound/music may have an impact on the speed at which the game/application runs and running DOSBox with limited resources may result in incomplete or 'choppy' sound being heard. (see previous question)<br />
<br />
===Increasing memory size===<br />
'''Q.''' How do I change the memory size so that I can run programs that require more than the default settings (eg. Windows 1.01 or some other demanding OS)?<br />
<br />
'''A.''' See the memsize option detailed in [[Configuration:DOSBox]].<br />

== Usage ==<br />
<br />
===Problems with colors and fullscreen drawing in Mac OS X===<br />
'''Q.''' Using Mac OS X 10.5.3 without a problem (MOO) and when upgraded to 10.5.4 MOO started flashing rainbow colors instead of the normal background in full screen mode (works fine in windowed mode.) I have a warning about the quickdraw capability being deprecated in my console window. Any suggestions?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''A.''' Go to your users home directory e.g. /Users/asc/Library/Preferences and open "DOSBox 0.73 Preferences". In the [sdl] section edit the parameter "output" so that it says: "output=opengl". Afterwards restart DOS Box. Colors and drawing issues should now be gone.<br />
<br />
===No backslash key===<br />
'''Q.''' My backslash key is mapped to ']' with DOSBox on Windows. Is there a workaround?<br />
<br />
'''A.''' This is usually a keyboard driver problem. You can either fix your driver or use the [[keymapper]] as a workaround. Here is a thread on VOGONS, detailing the problem:[http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=18465 http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=18465]<br />
<br />
''' - Driver fix on Windows XP'''<br />
<br />
Right click ''My Computer'', select ''Properties''. On the ''Hardware'' tab, select ''Device Manager''. Find your keyboard, right click, ''Update driver''. Select ''No, not this time'', then ''Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)''. Select ''Don't search''. You arrive to a screen where compatible drivers are listed. Changing from ''Microsoft Natural PS/2'' driver to ''PC/AT Enhanced PS/2'' driver reportedly solved this issue. You can experiment with any other compatible device you find on the list. If you are using an USB keyboard try the keyboard manufacturer's drivers.<br />
<br />
''' - Driver fix on Windows Vista'''<br />
<br />
Click on the ''Windows button'', right click on ''Computer'', select ''Properties''. Next, select ''Device Manager'' in the top left corner, and ''Continue'' on the User Account Control screen. Find your keyboard under ''Keyboards''. Right click on the keyboard entry, select ''Update Driver Software...''. Then select ''Browse my computer...'', and ''Let me pick...''. Here you can change your current driver to another compatible one, or use the disk provided by your manufacturer.<br />
<br />
''' - Workaround using DosBox Keymapper'''<br />
<br />
Press <tt>CTRL-F1</tt> to enter the [[keymapper]] and select the backslash with your mouse. Press the <tt>DELETE</tt> button that will show up on your screen. Then press <tt>ADD</tt> to bind backslash to another key. Simply press an unused key to bind it to this. Press <tt>SAVE</tt> and then <tt>EXIT</tt> to return to the main screen.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Trapped mouse cursor===<br />
'''Q.''' My cursor is trapped within the DOSBox window when I click inside. How do I get the cursor out?<br />
<br />
'''A.''' DOSBox will capture your mouse when you click inside the display window (and you have '''<tt>autolock=true</tt>''' set in the [[Dosbox.conf]]). Simply press '''<tt>CTRL-F10</tt>''' to release the mouse.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gnome scripting ===<br />
'''Q.''' I have set Gnome to load DOSBox when I click on .COM files. How do I script it to exit DOSBox when I quit from the game?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''A.''' With -exit as commandline parameter for DOSBox.<br />
<br />
===Hard drive/CDROM access===<br />
'''Q.''' How do I access my hard drive/cdrom in DOSBox?<br />
<br />
'''A.''' See the information on the [[MOUNT]] command, or type <tt>intro mount</tt> or <tt>intro cdrom</tt> in DOSBox for the basics.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Accessing ISO images===<br />
'''Q.''' I have an ISO image I made of files for backup purposes. How do I access it in DOSBox?<br />
<br />
'''A.''' See the information on the [[IMGMOUNT]] command<br />
<br />
=== Swapping CD images===<br />
'''Q.''' How do I unmount or change images? I need to swap CD images in the drive.<br />
<br />
'''A.''' You may assign more than one image file to [[IMGMOUNT]], to swap images use <tt>CTRL-F4</tt>. You can also unmount images by using the -u switch. See [[IMGMOUNT]] for more information.<br />
<br />
===CD Audio tracks===<br />
'''Q.''' I have created an image from a CD that includes CD audio tracks, when I access it in DOSBox only the first (data) track is available.<br />
<br />
'''A.''' Be sure to use the bin/cue format for mixed mode CDs (CDs with a data and audio tracks) and always pass the cue file to [[IMGMOUNT]].<br />
<br />
===Gibberish===<br />
'''Q.''' When I write '':'' it turns out ''>'' or when i write ''å'' ''ä'' ''ö'' or any other non standard us character. How can I fix this for my keyboard?<br />
<br />
'''A.''' Use the [[KEYB]] command to change your [[KEYB#Layout codes|Keyboard layout]].<br />
<br />
===No ":" symbol===<br />
'''Q.''' I can't find the ":" symbol anywhere in my dosbox. I am using Vista on a laptop. Please advice me how to fix the problem.<br />
<br />
'''A.''' Use the left shift instead of the right shift. A number of keys are affected by this problem. For a workaround for other keys like "\", see the second answer.<br />
<br />
===Scrolling up/down===<br />
'''Q.''' How do you/I scroll up to see text that is not visible in the DOSBox window? Certain apps will print a long string of text, and you can't see it all.<br />
<br />
'''A.''' Unlike the DOS window in Windows 2000, XP and Vista, DOSBox exactly emulates a full screen DOS session. Hence it doesn't support scrolling up and down. However, MS-DOS included a program to allow you to 'press any key' to scroll down called MORE.COM. This is how to do it on Windows:<br />
# Try and find a copy of MORE.COM from MS-DOS 5.0 (good luck) or MORE.EXE from FreeDOS ([http://www.freedos.org/cgi-bin/lsm.cgi?mode=lsm&lsm=base/more.lsm easy])<br />
# Put it in C:\C<br />
# Edit C:\Program Files\Dosbox\dosbox.conf in Notepad<br />
# Go to the bottom of the file, where it reads <tt>[autoexec]</tt>. Add to it or change it to read:<br><tt>[autoexec]<br> MOUNT C C:\C<br> PATH=%PATH%;C:\</tt><br><br><br />
# Save it, close DOSBox and then re-open DOSbox.<br />
# Now, say you wanted to use this command:<br> <tt>C:\> type readme.txt</tt><br><br>Instead type this:<br> <tt>C:\> type readme.txt | more</tt><br />

<br />
== Misc ==<br />
<br />
===The main site's image===<br />
'''Q.''' What is the picture in the dosbox www site in the title bar?<br />
<br />
'''A.''' [[GAMES:Dune 2|Dune 2]].<br />
<br />
=== What is DOS?===<br />
DOS (see [[Wikipedia:DOS]]) is short for "Disk Operating System". It mainly refers to the series of operating systems that dominated the IBM PC compatible market from the 1980s and into the 1990s. But it may also refer to the DOS-based Microsoft Windows 9X/ME series of the late 1990s. The relevant systems were usually called "'''X''' DOS", "'''X'''-DOS" or "'''X'''DOS" with the X being the brand name. Despite common usage, none of them were actually called just DOS. Microsoft's system, MS-DOS, is probably the most known.<br />
<br />
=== What is Abandonware?===<br />
Abandonware (see [[Wikipedia:Abandonware]]) is the term people usually use to describe computer softwares and games which are neither sold nor supported anymore. As it is not an official term, it's important to remember that just because something is considered as abandonware doesn't mean it actually is, especially as the estimation is usually based strictly on age. Moreover, even if it is, it has no legal meaning. In other words, it still has just as much copyrights as if it was actively developed. In fact, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA - fomerly IDSA) actively pursuits those that disribute what they consider abandonware.</div>Isomequfhttp://www.dosbox.com/wiki/index.php?title=GAMES:Dungeon_Keeper&diff=4207GAMES:Dungeon Keeper2010-11-15T07:31:47Z<p>Isomequf: </p>

<div>>== Basic Concepts ==<br />
<br />
DOSBox is an emulator that recreates a MS-DOS compatible environment (complete with Sound, Input, Graphics and even basic networking). This environment is complete enough to run many classic MS-DOS games completely unmodified. In order to utilize all of DOSBox's features you need to first understand some basic concepts about the MS-DOS environment.<br />

<br />
== Installation ==<br />
<br />
The first step is to install DOSBox. This guide will use the [[Version0.72|0.72]] Windows 32 version which is available for [http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1 download]. Download the [[Releases|release]] for your operating system. If you are a Windows user, get the '''Win32 installer'''.<br />
<br />
After downloading, install DOSBox to any directory. Also, make a folder to put all your old games in. I put DOSBox in '''<tt>C:\DOSBox</tt>''', and my old games directory is '''<tt>C:\OLDGAMES</tt>'''. I put a game in my '''<tt>OLDGAMES</tt>''' directory, '''<tt>TESTDRIV</tt>''', which is [[GAMES:TestDrive|Test Drive]], an old racing game. Your directories should look like this:<br />
<br />
[[Image:DOSBox-Folders.jpg]]<br />
<br />
== Running a game ==<br />
<br />
Now, the hardest part, getting games to run. First, run '''dosbox.exe''' in your DOSBox folder. Remember that '''<tt>OLDGAMES</tt>''' directory you created in Step 1? You have to basically set that as new directory just for DOSBox. Essentially, it's going to become the '''[[CDrive|C:\>]]''' drive of DOSBox. So, type:<br />
Z:\>'''MOUNT C C:\OLDGAMES'''<br />
Drive C mounted as local directory C:\OLDGAMES\<br />
<br />
To dissect the above:<br />
*'''[[MOUNT]]''': Tells the program to [[MOUNT|mount]] a directory<br />
*'''C''': Tells the program what you want your new drive to be called (leaving it as C: is fine)<br />
*'''C:\OLDGAMES''': This is the directory I want to set as the new drive for DOSBox, because all my games are in it. If you created a different directory, write in the directory you created.<br />
<br />
''(Note: If you want to [[MOUNT|mount]] a CD-ROM instead of a folder, type this:''<br />
Z:\>'''MOUNT D D:\ -t cdrom'''<br />
MSCDEX installed.<br />
Drive D is mounted as CDRom D:\<br />
<br />
''(Note: '''"cdrom"''' is case sensitive and must be lowercase!)''<br />
<br />
In this example, '''D:\ -T cdrom''' tells DOSBox that my D:\ drive is a CD-ROM drive, and the first '''D''', tells DOSBox what my new drive name should be called. If you are running your game off a CD-ROM then make sure to use '''D:''' in place of '''C:''' in the following examples. You can find instructions on how to [[MOUNT|mount]] other devices, such as floppy drives, in the [[MOUNT|mount]] section).''<br />
<br />
After you've done this, you will be prompted with a '''[[ZDrive|Z:\>]]'''. Now, just write what you wanted to call your new DOSBox drive, which as I said above, we called '''C'''. To navigate to that newly mounted drive just type in:<br />
<br />
Z:\>'''C:'''<br />
<br />
C:\><br />
<br />
Hopefully, you're all set! Now, it's time to run the game. Previously I had mentioned a game called '''<tt>TESTDRIV</tt>''' in my '''<tt>OLDGAMES</tt>''' folder. I now want DOSBox to go to that folder. So type in:<br />
<br />
C:\>'''CD TESTDRIV'''<br />
<br />
C:\TESTDRIV><br />
<br />
That's it! [[Commands#CD|CD]] stands for "Change Directory", so you've changed the directory to TESTDRIV. You can find instructions on how to use the [[Commands#CD|Change Directory]] command, in the [[Commands#CD|CD]] section of the [[Commands]] article.<br />
<br />
One more step, running the game! Most games have an EXE file in their directory that you can run. However, some might require a BAT file, or COM file (common in demos and really old games). Most of the time, the file is in the root folder. Please consult the documentation of your game for which file is needed to start the game. In the case of [[GAMES:TestDrive|Test Drive]], it's '''TDCGA.EXE'''. So now, I just type this:<br />
<br />
C:\TESTDRIV>'''TDCGA.EXE'''<br />
<br />
That's it! Here's a picture of all of the commands I've written about in Step 2: <br />
<br />
[[Image:Dosbox2.jpg]]<br />
<br />
== Alternate methods for running a game ==<br />
<br />
The steps described above are closely aligned with how DOS Based operating systems behave natively. However modern operating system allow for more user friendly (although less authentic) ways of playing your favorite games. If the steps above seem tedious or confusing you can try some of these other guides. In most cases these guides will still require you to setup a working DOSBox environment.<br />

*[[DOSBoxShortcuts|Creating desktop shortcuts]]<br />
**[[DOSBoxShortcuts#Windows|in Microsoft Windows]]<br />
**[[DOSBoxShortcuts#OSX|in Apple OSX]]<br />
**[[DOSBoxShortcuts#GNOME|in Linux GNOME]]<br />
<br />
NOTE: If you have problems with launching the game, unrecognizable errors being spit out, saving settings, or having the game drop out while running it, one thing to try is to make sure all the files are not set to Read Only. In Windows, select the folder of the game, right click and hit properties, uncheck '''Read Only''' if it is checked, and apply to all sub folders.<br />
<br />
If you have other errors, please search the [http://vogons.zetafleet.com forums] first before posting a question.<br />
<br />
== Performance ==<br />
Yay, you've gotten your game to run! But maybe you're experiencing slowdown? How do you fix this? With the following commands:<br />
<br />
'''<tt>CTRL+F7</tt>''' = Decreases frameskip<br/><br />
'''<tt>CTRL+F8</tt>''' = Increases Frameskip<br/><br />
'''<tt>CTRL+F11</tt>''' = Slows down the game<br/><br />
'''<tt>CTRL+F12</tt>''' = Speeds up the game<br/><br />
<br />
Press '''<tt>CTRL+ALT+DEL</tt>''' to open the Task Manager, and click the Performance tab. Start by pressing '''<tt>CTRL+F12</tt>''' until your CPU Usage level begins to go above 95%. After that, if you still need a performance boost, hit '''<tt>CTRL+F8</tt>''' to have DOSBox not render some frames. The console window will display all of the changes you've made, and the top of the game window will display the current settings. Adjust these settings as needed until your game goes smoothly. '''''Please keep in mind that not all games will run smoothly on DOSBox.'''''<br />
<br />
[[Image:Dosbox3.jpg]]<br />
<br />
== Other Useful features ==<br />
<br />
=== Quick start ===<br />
<br />
You can save yourself some time by having DOSBox automatically [[MOUNT]] your folders and change the drive to '''C:'''. In original DOS based operating systems a file called '''<tt>[[AUTOEXEC|AUTOEXEC.BAT]]</tt>''' contained any commands that the user wanted executed every time the computer booted up. This functionality is simulated by the [[dosbox.conf#.5Bautoexec.5D|[autoexec]]] section of the [[dosbox.conf]] file. <br />
<br />
For DOSBox versions older than 0.73 browse into program installation folder and open the [[dosbox.conf]] file in any text editor. For version 0.73 go to Start Menu and click on "Configuration" and then "Edit Configuration". Then scroll down to the very end, and add these lines:<br />
<br />
<code><pre>MOUNT C C:\OLDGAMES<br />
C:</pre></code><br />
<br />
Now those commands will be executed automatically when starting! If you're having trouble with that, make sure it looks like this (look at the bottom): <br />
<br />
[[Image:Dosbox4.jpg]]<br />
<br />
=== Full Screen ===<br />
<br />
Just press '''<tt>ALT+ENTER</tt>''' to go into and out of full screen.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, you can open the [[dosbox.conf]] file as mentioned above and change "fullscreen=false" to "fullscreen=true". DOSBox will then run in full screen mode when you open it.</div>Isomequf
